Viking Embroidery Stitches and Motifs Possibly because of the late onset of textile weaving in Scandinavia, the tradition of decorative textile embroidery seems also to have been established late. Judging from what remains of Scandinavian textiles, at the beginning of the Viking Age only faltering steps had been taken toward decorative textile embroidery. The tjald (hanging) and refil (a figured frieze like the Bayeux Tapestry) of the Viking Age were composed not of embroidery but of wool-on-linen tapestry weaves accented by soumak (Grenander-Nyberg, 122). The same is true for household furnishings such as pillowcases, cushion covers, and tablecloths; all the evidence points to a strong tradition of decorative polychrome mixed-fiber weaving rather than one of needle-worked surface ornamentation. Also in the ninth century, the eastern-influenced style of embroidery was on the rise. This style, represented at Birka in Sweden, was more likely Kievan Rus, Byzantine, or Slavic in origin. Like other forms of eastern Viking ornament, it depended heavily on silver wire or thread for its decorative effect. In fact, eastern Viking embroidery (more properly, "textile surface decoration") involved only one or two techniques which are likely to have been worked with a needle, i.e., stemstitch, surface couching, and possibly some forms of

43. THE HISTORY OF BROCADED SILK-WEAVING IN IRAN - (The Circle Of Ancient Iranian St Short article about the art and technique of brocaded silk weaving in Iran, from before the Sasanid Dynasty to the present times. From the Circle of Ancient Iranian Studies (CAIS). http://www.cais-soas.com/CAIS/Costume_and_Textile/history_of_brocaded_silk.htm

CAIS The Circle of Ancient Iranian Studies Home About CAIS Articles Daily News ... Links THE HISTORY OF BROCADED SILK-WEAVING IN IRAN Abstract The history of brocaded silk weaving dates back to the time before the Sasanid dynasty. At that time this handicraft was exported to Europe and Rome. After the Sasanid period, due to the fact that the use of gold was prohibited for men, so weaving of this kind of cloth was almost stopped. During the Mogul era, the textile industry was almost forgotten in Iran, and the masters, for fear of their lives, lived in hiding. The textile industry was revived during the Safavid period, and during the reign of Shah Abbas, brocade artists were asked to migrate to Isfahan, and start working in the royal workshops. During the period between 14 and 16 centuries, weaving of brocaded silk declined; and during the Qajar era and the past regime, brocaded silk and velvet were used in formal dresses, upholstery of furniture and curtains of courts. At the present period, some masters such as Mahmoud Farshchian, have put forward novel designs by increasing or decreasing some ornamental elements. Brocades are woven by means of old tools, and its raw materials are silk and gold and silver lace (braid) and are dyed by means of natural stuffs and materials. In ancient times, ornament making workshops produced valuable textiles for home consumption as well as for exports. Some samples of silk materials from the beginning of the Islamic period and woven in Sasanid style are available now and can be found in private collections and in European churches. For example, the design of the face of Jesus Christ is found in Saint Victoria Church, and the piece of cloth on which the design of elephant is woven, is preserved in "Sceance" Cathedral.
